LAST IMAGE HOLD
Verify proper operation of Last Image Hold by using Recall (Not on SP):

COOLING FAN (OPTION)
Applicable only for systems equipped with the 9600 Cooling Kit (Std. C-Arm and Super C-Arm) which
includes the ventilated HV cable cover.
1. Switch
OFF
the Workstation keyswitch, then remove the HV cable cover from the X-ray tube but do
not disconnect the cooling fan wires.
2. Switch
ON
the Workstation keyswitch and ensure that the fan turns on at approx. the same time the
keyswitch is switched on.
3. Ensure proper fan operation. Blade rotation should not be sluggish and there should be no
obstructions inside the fan itself. Fan air should blow air directly onto the X-ray tube heat sink.
